Cartoon Network Dropping Gundam and Bebop?

Lhadatt was among several who noted unannounced changes in Cartoon Networks' anime lineup. It's easy to speculate that Mobile Suit Gundam and Cowboy Bebop were dropped because of Tuesday's terrorist attacks since each show has a fair amount of violence, but nobody really knows. You can see the evidence on Cartoon Network's Listings. Tonight, episode 5 of Bebop was scheduled to air: one of the best episodes, too.

      "He is also very, very gay." does not imply "He rapes little boys."

      Similarly, "He rapes little boys." does not imply "He is also very, very gay."

Think of the moral boost it would bring, "Ha, you stupid terrorists, we're back!" Well, maybe something more inspirational than that.

    Anyway, it would also allow us to preserve our history, both in our hearts and in our "visual arts". People will be able to look at images of the WTC without being so despondent.

    Of course, the new WTC should be designed to handle a similar attack, and should have better escape routes, but otherwise it should look the same.
